Terry Rozier

 ( 1994 Births ) 

As Rozier had to improve his grades, Rozier initially played at Hargrave Military Academy before joining Louisville. In his 2012–13 campaign at Hargrave, Rozier averaged 29.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists while the team went 38–8; he also earned the 2012 Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic MVP and placed second in the dunk and three-point contest that season.

As a sophomore in 2014–15, Rozier led the Cardinals in scoring with 17.1 points per game and was named second-team All-ACC. On March 30, 2015, Rozier and Louisville teammate Montrezl Harrell declared for the 2015 NBA draft.

On November 24, 2017, Rozier scored a career-high 23 points in a 118–103 victory over the Orlando Magic. On December 18, he made a steal and go-ahead dunk with 1.5 seconds remaining that gave the Celtics a narrow 112–111 victory over the Indiana Pacers. On January 31, Rozier logged his first career triple-double in his first NBA start to help the Celtics to a 103–73 victory over the New York Knicks, recording 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists while becoming just the second player in NBA history with a triple-double in his first start, joining Tony Wroten, who set the initial record on November 13, 2013, with the Philadelphia 76ers. Two days later, in his second career start, Rozier scored a career-high 31 points in a 119–110 win over the Hawks. On March 25, in his sixth start in place of the injured Kyrie Irving, Rozier scored a career-high 33 points in a 104–93 victory over the Sacramento Kings. He also had five rebounds and three assists. In Game 2 of the Celtics' first-round playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks, Rozier scored 23 points in helping Boston take a 2–0 series lead with a 120–106 victory. In Game 7, Rozier scored 26 points in a 112–96 victory over the Bucks. In Game 1 of their second-round series against the 76ers, Rozier recorded 29 points, eight rebounds and six assists in a 117–101 victory. In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Rozier scored 28 points in a 109–99 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics went on to lose in seven games.

On November 9, 2018, Rozier scored a then-season-high 22 points in a 123–115 loss to the Utah Jazz, making his first start of the season in place of Irving. On January 30, Rozier had 17 points and tied a career high with 10 assists in a 126–94 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

On December 18, 2019, Rozier scored a then-career-high 35 points in a 100–98 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He would surpass that on March 8, 2020, scoring 40 points in a 143–138 double-overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The contract the Hornets gave to Rozier at that time was criticized following a poor performance in the 2019 playoffs and losing their longtime star Kemba Walker. Rozier's performance improved throughout the rest of the season.

On December 23, 2020, Rozier put up a then-career-high 42 points, along with three rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block, in a 121–114 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He surpassed this mark with a new career-high 43 points in a 112–110 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on May 9, 2021. The Hornets finished with a 33–39 record and qualified for the newly implemented play-in tournament. However, on May 18, the team's season ended with a 144–117 play-in loss to the Indiana Pacers, which Rozier recorded 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

On August 24, 2021, Rozier signed a four-year, $97 million contract extension with the Hornets. On December 29, he scored a season-high 35 points, alongside seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks, in a 116–108 victory over the Indiana Pacers. On February 12, 2022, Rozier again scored 35 points, alongside 10 rebounds and nine assists, in a 125–118 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. The Hornets finished the season with a 43–39 record and qualified for the play-in tournament for the second straight year, but their season ended on April 13, with a 132–103 play-in loss to the Atlanta Hawks, despite 21 points, four rebounds and three assists from Rozier.

On January 6, 2023, Rozier scored a season-high 39 points, alongside two rebounds and four assists, in a 138–109 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. On January 21, he recorded 34 points, three rebounds, five assists and four steals in a 122–118 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

Rozier was placed on indefinite unpaid leave by the NBA in October 2025 and ordered to stay away from the Heat, one game into the 2025–26 season, pending resolution of an FBI case against Rozier related to sports gambling fraud.

On October 23, 2025, Rozier was arrested along with Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and former NBA player Damon Jones in connection to a much wider federal investigation into sports betting and gambling by various criminal organizations including the Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese and Lucchese crime families of the American Mafia. On December 8, Rozier pled not guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.
